Purging Compounds for Injection Molding

Regardless of the particle size, contamination costs money. Purgex™ Purging Compounds combine the ability to reach even the smallest area with the strength to clean out stubborn materials. From big parts such as automotive instrument panels to small medical components, there is a Purgex grade to get the job done on your injection molding machine.

Whether you need to purge through an open or closed mold, we have developed procedures to make the process fast and easy.

Purgex easily rinses out of the machine and doesn’t leave any sticky residue behind.

All Purgex grades are capable of passing seamlessly through hot runner systems.
